Memorial torch into place May 26. The torch had been removed
for refurbishing to prevent future corrosion due to
ocean moisture and salt exposure. The Memorial is located
on the Atlantic City boardwalk next to Brighton Park. The
Memorial pays tribute to the more than 191,000 New Jerseyans
that served and 836 were killed or still considered missing in
action. Photo by Roman Martyniuk, NJDMAVA/PA.
